Wake Booster

[tabbibus]

Did you buy your lift or was it's provided by the marina? I'd hate to keep my new boat in a wet slip without a lift. @MattFX4

I bought it from Casey's Custom Docks. I think the marina leases them, but I would rather own one and you can always resell it.

Thanks! I'm lesnole towards dry stack at Port Royale. May pull the trigger on the boat soon!

Spoke to the dealer today to get an update on the Wake Booster timeline.

Apparently there have been “production issues” and delivery date is up in the air. He said February could be possible but did not sound confident.

Does that mean different model for 21' vs 24'?

New video of wake booster with full stock ballast on a 242X and one person onboard

I went to the Montreal boat show today. I see the wakebooster but it was labelled wake enhancer and it have two tabs each side with a rubber and the handle was different

It looks like it have a different name in Canada.
Found on Canada Yamaha web site:

Wakesurfing is fast becoming Canada's favourite watersports activity. When it comes to wakesurfing behind a jet boat, Yamaha's Wake Series models are second to none with class-leading features such as SurfPointe, Drive Control and Yamaha's automated triple ballast system.

For 2019, Yamaha takes watersports fun to the next level with the Yamaha Wakesurf Package of accessories, which features the all-new Yamaha Wake Enhancer wake enhancer that easily affixes to either side of the boat using the tie down hook under the stern.

The Yamaha Wake Enhancer "scoops" water towards the centreline optimized by Yamaha SurfPointe, feeding the wake with a massive amount of clean water. The result is a wake that is more easily surfable, with a nice curl and deeper pocket that provides a larger wakesurfing area.

In addition to Yamaha Wake Enhancer, the Yamaha Wakesurf Package comes with an exclusive 5-foot, 3-inch long, co-branded Slingshot wakesurf board developed for Yamaha Boats, and a Yamaha-branded wakesurf rope.

The Yamaha Wakesurf Package is available through Yamaha Boat dealers nationwide.

Stewart that made the above Facebook video invited me to come with when testing the 21' version of Wake Booster when he gets it. Given it will be 35ish degrees most likely we won't be able to surf I'll report back on wave size, ease of use, and such. Looks like the real deal though. Can't help but be excited for our Yamaha's! If we can make a $50-60k boat surf close to a $100k boat AND be able to cruise like a runabout - boaters won't be able to help but take notice. Wish it was summer so I could surf it!

They already can and have been able to for close to 5 years with the Wake Wedge.

Looks like Yamaha is falling a bit behind in the release of the wake booster. Anyone know anything useful?

In January when they missed that date they pushed it out to April is what I was told.

 

[Jeff Jozwi]

I spoke to a dealer in MI at our local boat show last weekend. They said they delivered a wake booster with a new boat they just sold.

 

[NORCAL-GAS]

Ok. Pics, report, otherwise nice story.

 

[Dgd3]

Does anyone know why is doesn’t work on previous model boats? Tie down placement? I have a 2010 242 Limited S. Just purchased.

I believe it is because the tie (U-bolt) down is angled in some models.
